| This is the ideal maple syrup evaporator for a hobby level of production. Good for up to 100 taps. The pans are constructed of TIG welded, 304 polished, 20 Guage stainless steel. The pan is 20" x 36" and 10" deep, with 3 partitions for flow control. A valve is provided to take of the syrup. Optionally we can provide a A small pre-heater pan sits on top at the back, where heat from the steam and from the smoke stack help to warm sap before entering the main boiling pan. A regulator tap / valve is provided on the pre-heater to help maintain flow into the main tank. All controls can be operated from one side so the evaporator can be installed in a smaller area. An adaptor can be welded into the side of the evaporator pan near the draw off valve for a thermometer. The arch ( firebox ) has a welded steel grate, a large door for easy firing ( filling with wood ) and a clean out door at the bottom. Draft can be controlled with the adjustable lower door. The arch accepts 2' long firewood. The rear legs are adjustable for levelling. Installation and set up requires placing of 80 fire bricks. The smoke stack and sides of the arch are galvanized steel, with stainless steel available as an option. We can provide a rope operated rain cover for the top of the smoke stack. |
